@Tyranexx My comic book store actually did have a broad selection, but even if it didn't, it wouldn't have mattered, because I always used the monthly Previews catalog to order straight from the US, so the comics store was more or less just a drop off/pick up point for my orders. The catalog can now be found online, and if your local store is a participant in its service, then you can use it as well: https://www.previewsworld.com/
(select 'catalog' from the top menu bar on the home page, to browse and/or search for comics and merch)
Do keep it in check, and don't fly off the handle like I did, though...
I also ordered other stuff from there: merchandise such as T-shirts, figurines, video tapes (anime), and even games. Actually, while I'm typing this, I'm wearing my Evil Ernie T-shirt:
And yes, I have a tendency to like the more evil comic book characters. Who could have guessed, huh?

I can also heartily recommend the Kingdom Come graphic novels, by Alex Ross. They are about more than just Batman, because they feature the Justice League and all that, but still a highly entertaining and interesting read.
You can get any and all of them here. Saves you from having to buy them physically.
Some will probably not even be available anymore, and if they are, then they'll probably be crazy expensive.
EDIT:
Almost forgot: if you'd want to go ahead and start reading comics digitally, then you'll also need the best comic book reader program around: http://www.cdisplayex.com/
Ugh....
I think i will start my Calendar 2020 project on July 2019.
So many days has been wasted by playing video games and i almost didn't touch my Calendar 2020 project.
@NintendoByNature
Um....
My Anthro Animal Boxers / Kickboxers, actually from my neglected 2018 project. 😅
And if i have enough time, perhaps my Avian Kickboxers with full cast will be considered as additional Calendar 2020 project.
I have never made Animal boxers for my calendar projects so Calendar 2020 will be my first Animal boxers calendar.
@HobbitGamer yea I just thought that's prob what it was. And yes they're really good I've seen some of his stuff ☺. I'll give your level a go tonight, looking forward to it.
Man, it's amazing what a ten degree difference and a higher humidity level in the span of a week can do to you when mowing. I'm beyond exhausted, and my hands have developed a couple of blisters even. XD
@ThanosReXXX Thanks for the resource! I'm not sure if I'll take advantage of it right now as I also have a Booklog of sorts, but I'll bookmark it for future reference.
On the Batman resources: I forgot to mention earlier as I was thinking of series and not one-shot comics, but I did pick up and read The Killing Joke a couple of years ago. The buzz around the animated movie release got me curious. Dark of a read as it was, I found it pretty enjoyable.
The others I've heard of as well minus Knightfall. I'll look into those as well. Thanks again!
@Tyranexx You're welcome. As for the recommendations I made: most of them are not one-shots at all, except for The Killing Joke. The Dark Knight Returns and Kingdom Come are 4 part mini-series, but Knightfall and Year One are complete story arcs, spanning many months worth of comics.
They've simply collected them in trade paperbacks, for easier reading, seeing as some stuff is spread across all the various comics labels that Batman is featured in, such as the Batman comic, Detective Comics, and so on.
Knightfall is the Batman vs Bane story arc. Not the lame Bane version from the movies, but a really dangerous arch-nemesis, and probably one of his toughest adversaries to date. It's quite the roller coaster ride, as far as story, impact and emotions go.
If and when you'll get to using the resource, and you have any questions on the how and what, you'll know where to find me.

Not gonna lie, I’m starting to have some regret over my decision to skip MM2. Liked the first one, but there’s just so many gamessszss! I’ve been trying to hold out on major purchases until LOZ in September, but Astral Chain is looking better every time I see it.
Been having a great weekend so far. Lots of yard work and playing with the kids. We have some out of state friends coming by tomorrow for a 24 hour visit, which will be a lot of fun. I have a gift certificate to a nice local meat market, so I think we have ribeye steaks in our near future. So good. Hope everyone is well.
@ThanosReXXX - I’ve never heard of Evil Ernie, but he looks great! Killing Joke is one of my favorite books. Clearly an influence for Ledger’s movie Joker. Did you ever read Alan Moore’s Saga of the Swamp Thing? It’s just beautiful.
@bimmy-lee I never had mm1 on Wii u since I'm a relatively new adopter of the Wii u. But I can tell im pleasantly surprised by how much fun it is. Didnt think I'd have fun building my own levels as much. But that's been the most fun for me. And playing all the people's levels from NL has been some fun too. It was def worth the $50 with the voucher
